Yeah... having to switch to that screenset and back just to tab into the library would be a ton of extra steps. I hate to say it, but it's simply just so much faster to use Logic 10.5.1 where, ahem, this behavior didn't occur, and the library remembered your settings globally no matter what track you select.

This was one of the first things I tried. Sadly this does not work if your Tracks window and Library Browser are open on two separate displays. This would require a "Cycle Through Windows" command before "tab" to jump between windows, then select the library. Sadly the first window to get the "blue frame" may also change based on what's previously selected, meaning it's difficult to build a single macro. The best workaround I have found via Keyboard Maestro is sadly just a "point and click" macro to select the window and pop open patch merging when needed. This is still not ideal so very open to other suggestions.

I don't think this is the case because, as I said, a workaround fix to this is opening an empty project and inserting the plugin that is displayed DURING the freeze. For example, as mentioned, Logic will often freeze on Pro-Q 3 for me (i.e., that plugin is displayed upon the freeze during load). If I open an empty project, create an empty software instrument track, and insert a default stereo Pro-Q 3 instance to that track, then (re-)open the initial project, it will load fine. How would you explain this behavior?

Yes, I use it, but imperfectly. Nothing beats the 10.5.1 built-in behavior. If you have more thoughts on the EPM change, would love to hear them on the other thread -- let's try to keep this one on topic as I try to find a good fix!

See here.

How certain are we that it is a faulty plugin? Again, the issue is spontaneous, sometimes displays different plugins during the loading freeze, and is sometimes resolved by opening a blank project and creating a track with the plugin displayed during the freeze. It is hard to test, because sometimes I can load the project(s) just fine, so isolating a faulty plugin is tricky. I can only go off of what plugin is displayed upon the freeze during the load. How do we know the freeze is "after" Channel EQ is loaded? Doesn't Channel EQ being displayed indicate that the plugin is what is currently being loaded?

For the old Enable Patch Merging behavior.

Yes.

Hi all, I'm having a recurring issue on my system where projects will freeze during loading on specific plugins. My attached photo shows this now happening with the stock Channel EQ. This occurs spontaneously, and the usual fix for me is opening a blank project, loading that plugin into a track in that blank project, and then going back and reopening the initial project. However, this is a time-consuming workaround. Most commonly, it'll get stuck loading Pro-Q 3. My hunch is that these are (EQ) plugins on lots of tracks in the project, which may be a hint to the issue. Can anyone give some insight into this?

Nah, I'm trying to script a Keyboard Maestro macro to automate these exports, and this step really messes it up. The most involved work in making a macro for this would probably be having to set up some kind of screen capture detection to see which audio format it is set to, then correct it if necessary. It's a shame to hear it sounds like a global/fixed AAC setting isn't possible yet.

Hmm, that's not the case for me. I always choose AAC for all my video exports. However, when I reopen previous projects, the video export audio format defaults to Linear PCM, and I have to manually change it to AAC each time. If I keep the project open and do multiple exports, it remembers the setting. It seems that every time I close and reopen Logic, the setting is reset and not remembered. I am currently experiencing this on Logic 10.5.1. Maybe this issue has been resolved in newer versions?

Hello everyone, I'm looking to change the default audio format of my exported videos from Logic to AAC instead of Linear PCM. Any suggestions on how to do this?

I use "Singe view" quite a bit for a manageable view of my signal flow. I am playing around with the feature of reassigning aux channels to see how much I can achieve. It would be nice to have everything assigned in an order that makes sense (and having it consistently reflected in all mix views is a nice bonus).

This is only true in the "tracks" view mode, not the "single" or "all" view modes.
